2. You do need* to reboot your computer after some updates (not including the kernel), as processes that are already loaded in memory will actually still be the older version until they are cleared from memory, which sometimes requires a reboot. *you don't actually NEED to, but you will still be stuck with the older version in memory until a reboot

3. Most modern Linux distros won't work if you swap hard drives into different computers.

good distros come with tooling for that.>Red Hat:needs-restartingyum ps>SUSE:zypper ps

>paid MS troll actually doing research for once >posting "no shit" facts that they think will shock people>they don't>people still are turning away from MS shitware in record numbers for GNU/LinuxNice try for once, MS.

>>47662426>3. Most modern Linux distros won't work if you swap hard drives into different computers.name one.most distros just have one kitchen-sink kernel given an arch, so not being able to boot would mean the distro wouldn't work at all on given computer.

or maybe you are confusing it with some obscure UEFI/Secure Boot setup, but then nothing would be able to survive that migration

>>476624261. True.2. You can reload all of userland without rebooting. You can even load a new kernel with kexec without rebooting.3. Almost every one that I've seen works fine if I move the drive to an entirely different machine. Often it will have minimal graphics drivers and no wifi until proper drivers are installed, but it will boot and be usable.

Untrue. More accurately, you can do it, but it's liable to break something, which is especially troubling for an average guy using his Linux deskop. It's also pretty much impossible to restart the dbus daemon in a race-free way.

>>47662426>1. You can get malware on a Linux system.yeah no shityou can, but it's next to impossible>2.

Most modern Linux distros won't work if you swap hard drives into different computers.bull fucking shit

>>47663346>oh, and you don't need to reboot for kernel updates after 4.0 lands, something ksplice-like got added upstreamplease read up what that actually does. no distro will care about it besides enterprise:http://jwboyer.livejournal.com/50232.html

>>47663412I don't know about sysadmins, was just talking about the normal user who is more likely to start rumors. I thought Redhat, Centos and other 'stable' distros have regular updates, but I'm probably wrong

>>47663423I prefers small updates because, they almost don't break for me, and if they do, is easier to know the problem or just roll back

>>47663499>I prefers small updates because, they almost don't break for me, and if they do, is easier to know the problem or just roll backyour win sysadmin must suck if he doesn't test the patches individually before rollout

anyway there aren't many distros that have a strict SRU policy like Ubuntu. Would say Debian stable and RHELt after Production 1 and SLES till service pack.

>>47662426>Most modern Linux distros won't work if you swap hard drives into different computers.Bullshit, I've done it an amazing amount of times and it's always worked. With varying amounts of difference between the PCs. One time migrating a "server", I managed to get an HDD from a P3 to an AMD Athlon X2 7750 and it worked.

>>47663970Do not use Kali for your daily OS.It's specifically made for penetration testing, stress testing, things like thatThe way it handles root and normal users is NOT something you'd want to have in a regular OS.

>>47662426>1. You can get malware on a Linux system.But almost only if you are an idiot. In Windows installing malware isn't such a big deal since you already installed cancerOS, and you are an idiot for doing so.

>>47662426>>47663308>>47663327>>47663516I have a flash drive setup with luks running netrunner. And my disk is referenced using /dev/disk/by-id/..... And i have booted that thing on god knows how many different machines and it works flawlessly every single time
